OXIWAY NORMAL Soft-Tip Nasal Cannula for Oxygen Therapy (10 pcs)

Product Overview: OXIWAY NORMAL Nasal Cannula

The OXIWAY NORMAL Nasal Cannula is designed to deliver supplemental oxygen efficiently and comfortably to patients requiring respiratory support. While specific details about the OXIWAY NORMAL model are limited, nasal cannulas are widely used in oxygen therapy due to their simplicity and effectiveness.​

Key Features:

• Oxygen Flow Rate: Typically supports flow rates between 1 to 6 liters per minute (L/min), corresponding to an approximate FiO₂ (Fraction of Inspired Oxygen) range of 24% to 44%. ​

• Design: Features soft, curved prongs that fit comfortably into the nostrils, allowing patients to breathe through both the nose and mouth. This design facilitates activities such as talking and eating without removing the device. ​

• Tubing Length: Available in various lengths, commonly 2.1 meters (7 feet), providing patients with mobility while connected to an oxygen source. 

• Material: Constructed from medical-grade, latex-free materials to minimize skin irritation and ensure patient safety.​

Usage Considerations:

• Low-Flow vs. High-Flow: Standard nasal cannulas are suitable for low-flow oxygen therapy (up to 6 L/min). For higher oxygen requirements, high-flow nasal cannulas (HFNC) are recommended, capable of delivering heated, humidified oxygen at flow rates up to 60 L/min. ​

• Maintenance: Regular inspection and replacement of the cannula are essential to prevent infections and ensure optimal functionality. It's advisable to follow manufacturer guidelines or healthcare provider recommendations for maintenance schedules.​

• Patient Comfort: To enhance comfort and reduce the risk of nasal dryness or irritation, consider using humidified oxygen, especially at higher flow rates. ​
